Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Also the high-heels.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Someone should post the "dress like a man" image with astfolo pointing out high heels and etc used to be for men

EDIT :

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

You could really be a Beau Brummell, baby, if you just give it half a chance.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Those look like men; I don’t see voluminous hoop skirts.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Those ruffles are weak and saggy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Those men are all dead now btw. Dusts hands

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, that white was lead powder. Guaranteed they're dead.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The OP meme is Rob McElhenney and Glenn Howerton from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. They are very much alive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

OK, that white was cocaine. Guaranteed they're dead.

For the record, I know the pic was from IASIP. OP's joke was not based on that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

That Mike is guaranteed bot account. Ban him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost? Isn't that what makes a man?

[–] [email protected] 93 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

The most important tenet of conservatism is to just assume the past is what you think it was.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

The present too, for that matter

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

I mean, we did also end up in the timeline, where conserving the planet Earth is somehow the progressive stance, even though the Earth was kind of important in the past, too. So, I think it's rather that these labels are nonsense, and conservatives just allude to a (fictional) past when it fits their preferred narrative.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

And that the past was static, eternally unchanging.

Oh shit bro, we broke the Liberty Bell.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

That's how it used to look like being appointed by God.

There is no universal and eternal concept of what a "man" is

Featherless biped with broad fingernails?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

damn, i never knew my manhood was so attached to my fingers. if i rip my nails off does that make me an alien, a woman, or a plucked chicken?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You are still a featherless biped. Also your nail come back, stronger, harder.

Virgin crisp pixels vs Chad CRT scanlines

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I like the one of the left. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah at this point it's been long enough we've had a generation of kids raised on the former

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

In my opinion scanlines only look good on a real CRT. You need the brightest OLED to make those CRT shaders look fine.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's not just scaliness but a full-on CRT shader with phosphor glow and stuff 👌

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Any recommendations? I just found out about it, so any pointers are appreciated while I research about it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I accidentally responded to your other comment in a different thread.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I can hear and smell it now... ah yes...

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I will always use scanline filters on my emulators and nobody can convince me not to.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Any recommendations? I was always bothered by that, but never thought it was possible to emulate crts too. I'll have to look them up now

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Depends on what you use to emulate and how much you want to hurt the device.
I usually emulate using RetroArch and it got all the CRT shaders you might want. Unless you get really into it. Look for CRT shaders with words "hylian glow", geom and royale. There even exist some advanced shaders for high refresh rate monitors that try to emulate CRT beam.

You can also check out Retro Crisis on YouTube to get started.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I wish I could find some filters for linux... but none of them seem to work. ;-;

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Those single-pixel ree eyes are fucking terrible, you are correct.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

I'm guessing the whole texture was created on a CRT screen. The artist obviously had the shading skills, where they could've faded the eyes red-to-grey, but well, there was no need to.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Now, Have at you!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What man? Which man? Who's the man? When's a man a man? What makes a man a man? Am I a man? Yes. Technically I am.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Yes....yes, that could work....

Yeah, 7 seas ... at least!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

One of those canonical seas, the Aral, is almost completely gone, that dove had better hurry!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

How many seas must a white dove sail, before she sleeps in the sand?
